With my new rims i am rubbing in the rears with the 275/35/18 tires. I currently have a prokit on the car with stock shocks. Would it be ok to put the stock springs back on in the rear (so i dont have to roll the fenders) and keep the aftermarket spring on in the front? Thanks in advance for the help!

honestly not a good idea. The spring rates will be different and the car will handle like ****

275/35 is a huge tire, i'm surprised the fronts don't hit as well...
